• Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to the next detent position tobrighten the odometer and radio controls when the parking lights or headlights are
on.
• Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to the last detent to turn on the interior lighting.
Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by lightly pulling the multifunc-
tion lever toward you. This will turn on the high beams headlights until the lever is
released.
High/Low Beam Switch
Push the multifunction lever away from you to switch the headlights to high beam.
Pull the lever toward you, to switch the headlights back to low beam.
Front Fog Lights
The front fog light switch is located on the multifunction lever. To activate the front
fog lights, turn on the parking or low beam headlights and pull out the end of the
lever.
NOTE:
The fog lights will only operate with the parking lights or the headlights on low beam.
Selecting high beam headlights will turn off the fog lights.
Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the arrows on each side of the
instrument cluster flash to show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal
lights.
NOTE:
• If either light remains on and does not flash, or there is a very fast flash rate, checkfor a defective outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is
moved, it would suggest that the indicator bulb is defective.
• A tone will chime if the turn signals are left on for more than 1 mile (2 km).
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once, without moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal
(right or left) will flash three times then automatically turn off.

WIPER/WASHER LEVER
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever upward to the
second detent past the intermittent set-
tings for low-speed wiper operation. Ro-
tate the end of the lever upward to the
third detent past the intermittent settings
for high-speed wiper operation.
CAUTION!
In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and allow the wipers to return to
the park position before turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left on and the
wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the wiper motor may occur when the
vehicle is restarted.
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions make a single wiping cycle, with
a variable pause between cycles, desirable. Rotate the end of the lever to the first
detent position for one of five intermittent settings. The delay cycle can be set
anywhere between 1 to 18 seconds.
NOTE:
The wiper delay times depend on vehicle speed. If the vehicle is moving less than
10 mph (16 km/h), delay times will be doubled.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and hold while spray is desired. If the
lever is pulled while in the delay range, the wiper will start and continue to operate
for two or three wipe cycles after the lever is released, and then resume the
intermittent interval previously selected.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the wipers will operate for two or three
wipe cycles and then turn off.

WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could lead to a collision. You
might not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm the windshield with defroster before
and during windshield washer use.
Mist Feature
Push down on the wiper lever to activate a single wipe to clear off road mist or spray
from a passing vehicle. As long as the lever is held down, the wipers will continue to
operate.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will
be sprayed on the windshield. The wash function must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer — If Equipped
A rotary switch on the center portion of the control lever (located on the right side of
the steering column) controls the operation of the rear wiper/washer function.
Rotate the switch upward to the first detent position for rear wiper operation.
Rotate the switch upward past the first detent to activate the rear washer. The washer
pump and the wiper will continue to operate as long as the switch is held. Upon
release, the wiper will cycle two to three times before returning to the set position.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is turned to the LOCK position, the
wiper will automatically return to the “Park” position. When the vehicle is restarted,
the wiper will resume function at whichever position the switch is set at.

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
When engaged, the Electronic Speed Control takes over accelerator operations at
speeds greater than 25 mph (40 km/h).
The Electronic Speed Control buttons are located on the right side of the steering
wheel.
NOTE:
In order to ensure proper operation, the
Electronic Speed Control System has
been designed to shut down if multiple
Speed Control functions are operated at
the same time. If this occurs, the Elec-
tronic Speed Control System can be re-
activated by pushing the Electronic
Speed Control ON/OFF button and reset-
ting the desired vehicle set speed.
To Activate
Push the ON/OFF button. The Cruise In-
dicator Light in the instrument cluster
will illuminate. To turn the system off,
push the ON/OFF button a second time.
The Cruise Indicator Light will turn off.
The system should be turned off when
not in use.
WARNING!
Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on when not in use is dangerous. You
could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. You could
lose control and have an accident. Always leave the system OFF when you are not
using it.
To Set A Desired Speed
Turn the Electronic Speed Control ON. When the vehicle has reached the desired
speed, push the SET (-) button and release. Release the accelerator and the vehicle
will operate at the selected speed.
NOTE:
The vehicle should be traveling at a steady speed and on level ground before pushing
the SET (-) button.

RES (+) button.
The drivers preferred units can be selected through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner’s Manual
on the DVD for more information. The speed increment shown is dependant on the
chosen speed unit of U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h):
U.S. Speed (mph)
• Pushing the RES (+) button once will result in a 1 mph increase in set speed. Eachsubsequent tap of the button results in an increase of 1 mph.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to increase until the button is released, then the new set speed will be established.
Metric Speed (km/h)
• Pushing the RES (+) button once will result in a 1 km/h increase in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the button results in an increase of 1 km/h.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to increase until the button is released, then the new set speed will be established.

To Decrease Speed
When the Electronic Speed Control is set, you can decrease speed by pushing the
SET (-) button.
The drivers preferred units can be selected through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner’s Manual
on the DVD for more information. The speed decrement shown is dependant on the
chosen speed unit of U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h):
U.S. Speed (mph)
• Pushing the SET (-) button once will result in a 1 mph decrease in set speed. Eachsubsequent tap of the button results in a decrease of 1 mph.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to decrease until the button is released, then the new set speed will be established.
Metric Speed (km/h)
• Pushing the SET (-) button once will result in a 1 km/h decrease in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the button results in a decrease of 1 km/h.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to decrease until the button is released, then the new set speed will be established.
To Accelerate For Passing
Press the accelerator as you would normally. When the pedal is released, the vehicle
will return to the set speed.
Using Electronic Speed Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the vehicle set speed.
NOTE:
The Electronic Speed Control system maintains speed up and down hills. A slight
speed change on moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it may be preferable to drive
without Electronic Speed Control.
WARNING!
Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a
constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could
lose control and have an accident. Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy
traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
